Text description provided by architect.
School building made in 50 days for the earthquake emergency in Emilia Romagna.
From the square, the building has a concrete wall that acts as a fence. A strong, imposing, rough wall aims to convey an idea of strength and protection for parents who bring their children to school.
Inside the fence, instead, there is a "colored world". A series of color-pillars marks the main facade.
